MEXICO CITY, Oct 27. General Felix
Wax, leader of the revolution recently
Inaugurated In Vera Cruz ,and threo of
his confederates have been sentenced o
death by the court-martial before which
'.hoy wore tried In that city.
The finding of the military court was
announced In Vera Cruz yesterday morn.
Ipg, but the news did not reach here
ifntll today.
t At the tamo time word of tho verdict
ngalnet Diaz was received, came the re
port that the military court had decided
to recognize the order of suspension of
pentence upon the revolutionary leader,
Kranted by tho supreme court pending
Investigation as to whether the trial of
"Diaz should be by military or civil court
Popular apprehenston regarding the fat
of Diaz has not been greatly allayed,
however, by this action of tho court
mortlai. The delay in the receipt of the.
.news regarding the outcome of the
military trial Is characteristic of all com
munication botweon the capital and Vera
Cruz.
People Pear Execution.
The uncertainty aa to what Is transpir
ing there has served to Increase the
tenseness of the situation. Friends of
Diaz still fear the consequences of the
conflict of authority which has arisen
between the Judiciary and military courts.
If tho military court observes the order
of the civil authority the final disposition
of the case will be long postponed.
I3ut It would be no surprise to thou
sands here to receive a message an
nounclng tho execution of tho rebel gen
eral and his assistants.
Efforts to save their lives, especially
that of Diaz, continue unabated. Promi
nent women, men high In affairs, mem
bers of .congress and even high army,
officers hava appealed to President
Madero for clemency, but to nil he has
jlven tho same negative answer.
To a group of women he Intimated that
to show clemency would be construed by
the world as an Indication of weakness.
He cited as an example that when he cap
tured Juarez ho pardoned General
Vavarro, which action the world attributed
to weakness Instead of to magnanimity.
Tho popular voice of protest has grown
so strong against the execution of Diaz
that thero has arisen between the presi
dent and senate a sharp discord, and as
Individuals the senators have seriously
discussed the Question of Impeachment
because of the administration's defiance
of that body Interpellation Friday.

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-Leoal butchery,
is how former Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker characterized his conviction for
the murder of Herman Rosenthal in a
talk' with newspaper reporters today.
From his cell in murderers' row In tho
Tombs Becker spoke bitterly of Ids fate.
declaring he had been railroaded and that
could he havo taken the witness stand
during his trial ho would have explained
away the publlo Impression that he had
acquired' a fortune through levying graft
upon gambling houses. The ex-pollceman
talked in the presence of his brolhor,
John Beoker, a police lieutenant'
"Tills case was legal butchery," ho
said! "you'ean't emphasize that too much.

could have been explained if I had been
allowed to go on the stand every cent
"Neither Mrs-r-Beeker nor myself has

expect more. I would not bo disappointed
if Sheriff Har burger rushed me off from
the court room to Sing Sing ufter Justice
.doff has sentenced me next Wednesday.
That ,wtll be the final stage of the rail
roading of Becker."
The strain of waiting for tho outcome
of -his trial and the uncertainty lie still
faces pending a decision by a higher court
on tho appeal his lawyers will make are
telling on Becker's physical condition,
according to friends. Becker was visited
for three hours by his wlfo today.
Mrs. Broker Honrs Up Well.
"Mrs. Becker is bearing up as well as
one could expect under the circum
stances. Her condition troubles me much
more than my own."
John F. Mclntyre, Becker's counsel,
said he was confident of a new trial for
his client
"There can't bo anything elso but a re
versal," he declared. "That man Becker
Is Innocent He was convicted upon tho
testimony of a lot of unbelievable crea
tures and found guilty after a trial in
which legal errors beyond number were
committed, in my opinion.
"I am going to see the attorney general
of the state within a few days. I bellovo
that District Attorney Whitman had no
right to offer Immunity to witnesses who
might be, and were, In my belief, princi
pals In the murder. I will ask the at
torney general for a ruling on that ques
tion and I believe I will prove my con
tent i."
Mr. Mclntyre mentioned "Brldgle"
Webber and Harry Vollon as the two wit
nesses he had in mind. He said that Im

prosecutor made with them wore not ap
proved by. Judge Mulqueen,- who slgnod

now none of them could hope to escapo

said there was no doubt pn to the validity
of the Immunity agreements with Webber
and Vallon.
Roosevelt Selfish,

"Thousands of people who have felt the

him the blistering that he deserves," de
clared Rev. W. E. Clark In a speech
yesterday at the Lyrio theater.
"Although he has gotten hundreds of
thousands worth of advertising because

mains that for years he has been as

WAB1UNOTON, Oct !7.-Prosldent
Taft continued his campaign for farmors'
co-operative banks and agricultural cre
dit today by making mply to letters
that havo reached tho White Houso In
timating that tho plan would benefit
only tho big farmers. Tho president
quoted from tho report of Ambassador
Merrick statistics Allowing tho business
done by tho Raiffclson banks of Ger
many. "The alio of tho average deposit 'for
theso institutions is around WTO,' said
tho president "Tho average loan they
make amounts, to oiiy $110, and the mom
hrrshlp of the Halffetscn banks averages
nlnoly-flvo furmers. It Is plainly evident
from theso figure that this In not n

governors (ha first rain which I mado Is
for the. adoption ot same such form of

of outstanding loans.
Value Hlioirn by Itrniills,
"The results obtained by the adoption
of this form of co-operatlvo credit In
Germany speak enough of Its usefulness.
Thero Is one bank for every 1,000 of pop
ulation In Germany. The rates of In
terest charged aro frequently a point or
two lower than in commercial circles,
yet tho banks make a fair profit, which
In tho case of the Ralffelson banks Is
all carried over as a reserve fund so
that each year these banks aro strength
ening their positions and becoming a
more important factor in tho empire.
Tho total of business done annually Is
astounding. It is in tho neighborhood of
16,000,000,000.
"Tho principle upon which these banks
are conducted Is known in tho United
States. Our mutual life Insurance so
cieties, fraternal aid societies nnd build
ing und loan associations havo met with
good success. Four-fifths of the savings
of the peoplo today aro deposited In mu
tual savings banks which aro organlzud
for much the same purposes as tho
ommull co-operative societies of Kurope.
Only In tho United States tho opera
tions of these institutions aro confined
largely to the cities. The co-operative
society which I recommend would afford
a mutuitl savings institution devised 'par
ticularly to give banking facilities to
farmers for small louus on personal
credit nnd for short time. Tho farmers
themselves would control tho manage
ment of theso societies.
"Of course, more legislation cannot
bring theso societies Into being. It wilt
require time and most of tho work will
havo to bo done by tho fanners them
selves. That is as It should be, for un
less the farmers themselves maku the
effort I doubt very much whether the
Idea wilt 'aver be successfully established
in such a country as the United States.
